The sky exploded with fireworks of all colors, reflecting Chen Qingling's name against the azure canvas.
These fireworks were, of course, the entire academy's gift for Chen Qingling.
They had pondered for a long time, unsure what kind of surprise would be fitting.
So, Xiao Chenyu suggested they create fireworks, a unique spectacle.
"Fireworks fade, but the sentiment lasts. May Senior Sister Qingling's future be bright!"
Seeing the grand gift and well wishes prepared for her by the other students, Chen Qingling's heart warmed.
"Thank you, everyone…"
She hadn't expected them to prepare such a special gift for her graduation ceremony.
"I appreciate your intentions."
Then, Chen Qingling walked towards Xiao Wu with a smile.
All of this naturally didn't escape Tang Hao's notice. He shook his head and chuckled, his son's actions truly hadn't disappointed him.
"This unfilial son of mine!"
"He really infuriates me!"
After watching for an entire year, Tang Hao finally understood.
Chen Qingling was genuinely a good person, always doing her best to help when faced with a problem.
Yet, his unfilial son, Tang San, harbored intense hatred towards her, always clashing with Chen Qingling!
Tang Hao, that old man, wanted nothing more than to give Tang San a good lesson, perhaps even using the "Three Wolves" technique to lightly whip his spirit.
Far away in the thatched cottage in the Star Dou Great Forest, Chen Shenge watched his daughter's graduation ceremony through the celestial screen.
"Not bad, not bad!"
"I didn't expect my daughter to be so popular at the academy."
"Hmm... Today's pink dress is a perfect score."
"As expected of my daughter, she can pull off any outfit."
However, Chen Shenge saw the gazes of most of the male classmates directed at his daughter, filled with admiration and adoration.
His expression became uneasy.
If… if his daughter hadn't found her mother yet, and then she was with a man…
Chen Shenge didn't dare to think any further.
But the images that flashed through his mind made his heart shudder.
A non-mainstream, yellow-haired, middle schooler, running off with his daughter.
Chen Shenge shook his head, "No, no, no."
"My daughter is well-brought-up, and I've told her that not many of the opposite sex are good people."
The images on the screen continued to play.
Seeing Chen Qingling about to step down, Director Su belatedly called out to her.
"Student Qingling, wait a moment."
Chen Qingling turned her head. "Director Su, is there anything else?"
"Ahahaha, nothing much, I just forgot to give you your graduation certificate."
Director Su then took a graduation certificate from his pocket and handed it to Chen Qingling.
"Ahem, may I ask, Student Qingling, what are your plans… for the future?"
Chen Qingling's eyes darted around for a few seconds, blinking rapidly.
"Hmm… I haven't decided yet."
"Hahahaha, it's alright, you just graduated, there's no rush."
"With your talent, Qingling, the major intermediate and advanced academies will be vying for you."
Chen Qingling nodded in response, glancing at her graduation certificate.
It contained her basic information and the official seal of Notting Academy.
A simple and unadorned certificate.
Afterward, Chen Qingling walked off the stage and went straight to Xiao Wu, taking her hand.
They moved through the throng of people, step by step, to the academy's entrance.
Looking at the familiar academy entrance, Chen Qingling's expression was a bit dazed.
Thinking back to when she first saw the famous scene involving Tang San here, how things have changed.
"Sister Qingling..."
"Xiao Wu, I won't be able to stay with you for a while."
"But I believe that one day, we'll meet again."
"Parting is for a better reunion, just like how you go to see Rongrong during the holidays."
"I know, I know..."
"But I don't want you to leave, Sister Qingling..." Xiao Wu's eyes were red, and tears couldn't help but fall.
Chen Qingling forced a smile on her face, slowly raised her hand, and wiped away the tears on Xiao Wu's cheeks.
"Pretty girls can't cry, you know? It'll ruin your face."
"You don't want your face to be ruined, do you? You also don't want me to be sad, right?" Chen Qingling joked, trying to lighten the mood.
Xiao Wu nodded, choking back sobs, "Yes, I won't cry."
Chen Qingling looked at the heartbroken Xiao Wu and couldn't help but hug her tightly.
"Xiao Wu… I'm leaving."
Although she didn't want to leave Xiao Wu, and didn't want to separate from her, she still had to continue on her path.
Watching Chen Qingling's departing figure, Xiao Wu put her hands to her mouth and shouted loudly.
"Sister Qingling, I'll miss you!"
Chen Qingling smiled and raised her left hand, waving. She slowly disappeared from Xiao Wu's sight.
Meanwhile, the Spirit Hall in Notting City had a brand new look.
Just because Su Yuntao had taken over Master Ma Xiunuo's position, becoming the new hall master of the Spirit Hall in Notting City.
Su Yuntao watched the fireworks exploding in the sky, displaying the three large characters that spelled out Chen Qingling's name.
"Time flies, doesn't it? She's graduating so soon. It's a pity I'm so busy; I can't find the time to attend. I should apologize to her."
Su Yuntao gave a bitter smile.
Ever since Chen Qingling arrived in Notting City, he had been secretly causing her trouble, both openly and covertly.
Yet, Qingling had been generous enough not to seek justice from him.
This proved that she was truly a good person.
"I'm sorry... I shouldn't have targeted you like that." Thinking about his previous actions, being obsessed with power and status, Su Yuntao didn't even realize he had become so consumed.
Inside Notting City.
Chen Qingling walked down the street, people constantly passing by her.
At this moment, Chen Qingling felt lost.
What should she do next?
Where should she go?
Where should she begin her training?
Chen Qingling fell into a brief moment of confusion, unable to decide.
Suddenly.
She thought of her reliable father!
She was sure he would know about this! After all, her father had suggested that she come to Notting City!
Moreover, Chen Qingling had said that she wanted to follow in her father's footsteps and become a strong person like him!
Thinking of this, Chen Qingling called out in her heart.
"Father! Father! Are you there?"
"I want to know where Father went after he left Notting City?"
Star Dou Great Forest, a thatched cottage.
Chen Shenge, lying in a chair, heard his daughter's call.
Hmm... Where did I go after leaving Notting City?
Chen Shenge stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and quickly knew where he needed to go.
When in doubt, follow the original story!
The next stop was Soto City, located in the heart of the most fertile Lima Plain within the Barack Kingdom, known as the Barack granary!
However… his daughter definitely couldn't get into Shrek Academy; she was too old.
Furthermore, Chen Shenge didn't want his daughter to go to Shrek Academy anyway.
What kind of place was that?
A concentration camp of sanctimonious people!
